520 Making a New Land presents an interdisciplinary
perspective on one of the most rapid and extensive
transformations in human history: that which followed
Maori and then European colonization of New Zealand's
temperate islands. This is a new edition of Environmental
Histories of New Zealand, first published in 2002,
brimming with new content and fresh insights into the
causes and nature of this transformation, and the new
landscapes and places that it produced. Unusually among
environmental histories, this book provides a
comprehensive analysis of change, focusing on
international as well as local contexts. Its 19 chapters
are organized in five broadly chronological parts:
Encounters, Colonising, Wild Places, Modernising, and
Contemporary Perspectives. These are framed by an
editorial introduction and a reflective epilogue. The book
is well illustrated with photographs, maps, cartoons and
other graphics.
